I am moderating a NYCC panel tomorrow that I'm told 1000 people have RSVPd for, it's fine, I'm sure it will be fine, I'm sure there's a conversion rate, I'll be fine?

I mean, they have a thing about the postseason. I don't know what the thing is. But for like 95 percent of the season, it doesn't matter.

I mean, I watch them all season and they're so fun, and then there's a lil tournament at the end that for some reason they have a mental block about or whatever... I love them the same.

Yeah, I'm following on my app but not watching. I had SO much fun with them this season, whatever this nonsense is I refuse to be upset about it.

I've done this before, right? Not as often since 2020, but I'm sure I can do it, IT WILL BE FINE.

I just saw one where a lady left a copy of the hit man’s passport in her car.

Up there with the true crime stories where people turn out to have Googled “can you destroy a body with bleach.”

There’s just such a loss of any kind of restraint about what you post, it’s bizarre. The people embracing this “make a video of a dead celebrity skateboarding” business strike me the same way. The phone becomes blanket absolution for anything you want to do.
